To study the BRCA1 mutations in eastern Chinese patients with early onset breast cancer and affected relatives, 41 patients' genomic DNA from peripheral mononuclear blood cells was studied by using single strand conformational polymorphism (SSCP) and DNA sequencing. The BRCA1 mutations were detected
Germline mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 account for majority of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer. The complete coding sequence analysis of both genes was carried out in 197 breast/ovarian cancer patients from high-risk families and 53 patients with sporadic breast/ovarian cancer. In summary, 59 mu
In Spain, the contribution of BRCA mutations to the population incidence of early-onset breast cancer was unknown. We carried out a mutational analysis of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes in 124 Spanish women diagnosed with breast cancer before the age 41 and who were not selected for a family history of t
